  2. bible

  i found this intresting the sun god noted above, now notice the 1963 resolution not to join the un.

  "that we will continue to look to him as the great sun from whom comes our enlightenment, guidance and healing.

  we will glorify him and not join idolatrous men in looking to bright-shining ones of mankind as the source of mental and spiritual enlightenment and of worldly prosperity".

  Breakthrough with JW mother - Stunning Anti Witness !

  by diamondblue1974 in

  2. friends

  i thought i would share this with you as i am still a little bit stunned to say the least.

  my mother who is a longstanding jw came to stay over the christmas period as my uncle had past away and she wanted to be more local to the family, that way she could attend the funeral and provide some support to her remaining brothers and sisters.

  she lives a considerable distance away from me at this moment in time.

  "Misquoting Jesus" - New Book by Ehrman

  by sir82 in

  1. watchtower
  2. bible

  this book was just published in the last month or so, i'm about 1/2 of the way through it.. the author describes the difficulty in discerning what exactly really were the original, right-from-the-pen words of the original writers of the new testament.

  basically, the oldest surviving manuscripts were written decades, in some cases centuries, after the originals.

  all copies were made by hand by untrained amateur copyists for the first 3 centuries after the books were written (until professional scribes started copying).. by comparing the thousands of ancient hand-copied manuscripts that still exist, there have been found anywhere from 200,000 to 400,000 distinct errors in the copying process.

  After I posted I thought I would come back and make it clearer. On mY thread about Jesus date of birth I recieved many PM's and links to look at. If you do a google sereach you find people that take a couple of the problem and try's to exspain them. Which if you don't look at the problems you can trick your mind. But the fact is the bible mentions Jesus birth was during many different rulers times some were died before the others were in power and that proves one thing, that is Ghost lived and ruled in the first century inorder for the bible to be true and that historical records are not acruate just the bible which does not agree with who was king and distric rulers. It totaly amazed me the zeal in some of the people on this board. Zeal with blinders on tryign to grasp at straws.

  I ahve said this over and over here on this forum. There is a local historian that lives near me. He has written several books. He has a very large library with copy's of some of the oldest text know. Basicly he has spent his life doing reseach. He has shown me facts just like the ones you mention in this book. He started out believing and needed to know everything but what has happened to him is, he is no longer a Christian. It is mind blowing the problems in the bible, for one Jesus is never mentioned by the Romans. Josephus when he talks about Jesus the grammatical writing change is proving someone else add this story about Jesus to Josephus writting. The Romans how ever talk in depth about a different Christ that live during the time the bible talks about Jesus, which make a person wonder what is going on.

  I have a thread that ran two day's ago dealing with the differences in Gospels with the date of Jesus birth. Huge problem between the gospels which can not be over looked. You go to one google link trying to exspain the problem and the links will talk about a couple of the problems but I have not seen a link that takes all the problem together and talk about them because if take all the problem together it is faith damning and there is only one conclusion that the orignals have been add to because the original writer would not have made those glaring mistakes. Which make you wonder if any of it is correct.

  a friend of mine told me 2 jws came to her home the other day.

  they started preaching to her and she said "i am a christian and i read the bible".

  they said "that's great because that's what were doing is teaching from the bible".

  Don't let them talk to you, do not answer your door, if they call hang up, do not except a certified letter unless you know who it is from. If two Witnesses are out and about do do go near them. Make it as difficult as you can. Never talk to two ELders at one time. Remember they are not trying to help you but to make an exsample for the other members.
